From the dust of the rodeo ring to the glory of the NRLW field, Ellie Johnston is living the adventure of a lifetime according to reports from sharks.com.au.
Teammates often marvel at the sight of Johnston in action, riding high in rodeos across the state during the off-season.
While most NRLW stars are busy with local footy from October to July, Johnston can be found tearing through the mountainous forests of the Mid North Coast on horseback.
This unique offseason pursuit may sound like a wild ride for Cronulla coach Tony Herman, but for Johnston, heading home to Coomba Park and soaking in the country air is just what she needs to fuel her fire for the upcoming season.
Just like a seasoned cowgirl wrangling a bucking bronco, Johnston's fearless attitude and determination on the field make her a force to be reckoned with.
As she gears up for another season of hard-hitting NRLW action, one thing is for sure - Ellie Johnston is a true Australian sportswoman through and through.
